Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux
  • Version: 5.18.3-arch1-1
  • Window Manager: sway 1:1.7-9

Standalone or Plugin Standalone

Additional context It is probably related to #240. The current latest version version is 0.46.6, but this seems to happen when the package version in Arch Linux is older (0.46.5). Is there something not working properly in the linkage between the latest version check and the startup? Sorry if I am looking in the wrong place.

Turns out there was a problem with the Arch package script. Should have resolved that last night. It seems like it's crashing for some reason. Not sure the cause yet though.

Reference link:. Packaged version

  • https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/element/trunk/PKGBUILD
  • https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/element/

git version

  • https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=element-git
  • https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/element-git

It is the packaged version that is causing this problem. I think the basic process is just downloading the source and deploying the build with a shell script (PKGBUILD)

I did the following and the problem no longer occurs

  1. move ~/.config/Element/*
  2. Start Element
  3. Press Ctrl+,to display options
  4. set the following settings to "No"
  • Check for updates on startup
  • Show system tray image
